Kinect Dancing Game From Japan Ditches Nightclubs For A Dance Studio

Visual novel developer Boost On is working on a Kinect dancing game called Love Tore Sweet for Japan. While games like Dance Central and Dance Masters are going for hip crowd, Love Tore Sweet (short for Love Training Sweet) is featured in this week’s issue of Famitsu and has players hang out in a dance studio. You learn how to dance alongside other characters by playing Kinect mini-games. One has players balance on a beam.

Love Tore Sweet also has an adventure segment where you interact with the female dancers and try to boost their performance to keep the dance studio from closing. According to Boost On, they’re trying to target girls with Love Tore Sweet, which is slated for release in Japan this summer as an Xbox 360 exclusive. Online reports say Boost On plans to expand this with Love Tore Mint in the fall and Love Tore Bitter slated for release in the winter.
